How to Judge.

Don't Judge man by the clothes
be wears; God made one and the
tailor made the other. Don't judge
him by his family, for Cam be-
longed to a good family. Don't
Judge a man by his failure in life
for many man fails because be is
too honest to succeed. Don't judge
man by the house he lives ia, for
the lizard and rat often inhabIt the
grander structure. When a man
dies, they who survive him ask what
property he has left behind; the
angel who bends over the dying
mar asks what good deeds he has
cent before him..

Legal Notices in Dakota.

Judge Mcconnell, of the northeastern
district of Dakota, is credited with a
decision Of great importance to the pub
lie. He recently set aside number of
mortgage foreclosure sales because pub
lication of notices of sale were not made
in newspapers Of general circulation,
but rather in alleged newspapers estab-
lished for the purpose Of catching legal
advertising. 1t is rule in Iowa that a
newspaper must have an established
circulation and standing before it can
be legally made the medium of this
class Of advertising. Through Judge
McConnell's decision this rule is to be
applied to Dakota. IL will be well for
ltigants to pay attention to this point,
and save future trouble by placing their
legal notices where there can be no
question regarding the circulation and
standing Of the advertising medium.
Otherwise defeated party can re-opon
a case and the proceedings must be gone
over anew. The safe course is take no

The following letter, written from this
city To the Belwood (Neb) Gazette, by
Mr.. j. J. Judevine, of Butler county,
Neb., who has been engaged In pros
pecting at intervals in the gold fields in
this vicinity for several years, and who
has recently returned to this place, for
the purpose of representing his claims,
bespeaks high degree of confidence in
the final success Of our various mining
enterprises:
CUSTER CITY, Dec. 81, 1886.
Mr.. EDITOR After arriving in this
city, and partaking Of the good cheer ut
the Vienna, first class hotel kept by
one Of the popular and genial men Of
Custer, took a stroll through the place
to gee the sights, and many au old
miner met, with whom | fingered in
friendly conversation relative to our
former experiences In this, the pioneer
city of the Black Hills. In my wander.
ings through the place, | was pleased to
note the many substantial improve
ments made during my absence. ! am
most favorably impressed with the
brilliant prospects which are now so un-
mistakably visible for the rapid ad
vancement, and final success of this
beautiful city. l find that tin exists
here in inexhanstible quantity and Of
superior quality, which alone is sutiici-
ent, to say nothing about the presence
OF nearly every other mineral, TO fully
warrant the building of an important
city. The outlook for the development
r. ri, Ia lA.ln Ia I,nf f,,t, -.
exceedingly favorable, and only de-
pends upon the influx of capital, which
is now assured.
Already number of important min
ing sales, involving large sums, from
$4,000 to $4,000, have been made, and
this upon properties which were com
paratively undeveloped. Many other
claims are awaiting purchasers which
are believed to be fully as desirable as
any yet sold.
Frank Wetherby and myself have
been working upon our Lightnin &
group Of gold mines, upon which our
main shaft has been sunk to depth Of
70 feet. We have opened the vein at
another point, and find at a depth of is
feet that the vein is seven feet wide,
and prospects as we'll for gold, as does
the ore in the main shaft. We are feel
ing juhilant over the prospect, and hope
in the good times that are soon to dawn
on this place to realize a sum sufficient
ly ample TO fully compensate us for all
the hardships encountered in our long
experience in seeking the elusive OBJ
ject, now almost within our grasp.
Very Respectfully. &c,
J. j. JUDEvISE.
